Suggestion for next release

[Jose Almeida]

Hi,

 

I usually adjust the cloud draw distance according to the altitude I am flying because, obviously, I can see further when I am high up. Would it be possible to make SMP change that distance as a function of altitude, so that it would be automatically reduced when we fly low? Since the number of objects X-Plane needs to draw increases at low altitude, simultaneously reducing the cloud draw distance could help manage FPS.

It already adjusts the cloud visibility distance as a function of altitude to some extent. We're already experimenting with better ways of handling it for SMP 2.1. Your observation is spot-on.
